ABOUT

Keemun Tea in perfumery captures the character of China’s famed Qimen black tea: winey and polished, with malty warmth, cocoa-dust and dried-plum nuances, faint orchid-like florals, and a soft, toasty smokiness over a gently tannic, woody dryness. It evokes quiet elegance—polished wood, amber steam, and contemplative calm. Used chiefly as a refined heart note, it bridges bright citrus tops and woody, musky or leathery bases, adding depth without heaviness. Perfumers often pair it with bergamot, osmanthus, rose, tobacco, incense, spices, and cedar to craft sophisticated black-tea accords.

The Green & Herbal fragrance note category encompasses scents that evoke the freshness of nature, often characterized by crisp, leafy, and grassy aromas. These notes can include elements like basil, mint, and green tea, which provide a vibrant, invigorating quality, while also featuring earthy undertones from herbs such as rosemary and thyme. Typically, fragrances in this category are light and refreshing, making them ideal for spring and summer compositions. They often convey a sense of vitality and rejuvenation, reminiscent of freshly cut grass or a dewy garden, and are frequently used to create clean, uplifting scents.
